Satiated Episode 172: The Hidden Connection Between Trauma, Nervous System Dysregulation, Low Neurotransmitters, and Emotional Eating

Happy Satiated Saturday! It's been a slow awakening for me over the years to realize that food can only take me so far. Before I embraced my sensitivities, I thought that if I could just practice every "self care" thing, like eating perfectly, getting outside, socializing, moving my body regularly, that I could "fix" the sensitive body I was born with. What I have seen within myself and those I have worked with is that when you stop fighting your body and start listening to it is when some major shifts can occur. You can work with your body instead of perhaps seeing it as the enemy that is working against you. Sometimes, what it has to tell you is that something is out of balance that needs way more support than what you can provide it on your own.In this week’s episode, I talk with Michelle Brown, Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner and Herbalist, about what neurotransmitters are, how they get low in the body, how low neurotransmitters are connected to your binge and emotional eating, and what you can explore to bring your neurotransmitters back into balance. You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/trauma-nervous-system-dysregulation-low-neurotransmitters-and-emotional-eatingIf you have been loving the Satiated Podcast and would like to support it more, here are a few ways you can do that:Become a supporter of the show!
